Behind Closed Doors
Behind Closed Doors is a podcast where I share my personal journey of nearly two decades living with chronic pain, mental health struggles, and sleepless
nights. It’s a raw, honest conversation about the realities many of us face but
rarely talk about openly.
The mission behind the podcast is simple, to create connection and
understanding. Everyone has a story, and often the hardest battles happen
behind closed doors. By sharing mine, I hope to shine a light on those silent
struggles, reduce the stigma around chronic illness and mental health, and
remind people they’re not alone.
